This is an open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1/2 study to assess the safety of ASTX660, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and recommended dosing regimen, and to obtain preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetic (PK), and target engagement data, in subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma for whom standard life-prolonging measures are not available.
ASTX660 is a synthetic small molecule dual antagonist of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein (cIAP) 1 and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) that has been shown to have potent proapoptotic and tumor growth inhibitory activity in nonclinical models. The Phase 1 portion of the study (completed) will determine the MTD, RP2D, and recommended dosing regimen. The Phase 2 portion will evaluate activity in selected tumor types. Subjects will continue to receive their assigned treatment throughout the study until the occurrence of disease progression, death, or unacceptable treatment-related toxicity, or until the study is closed by the sponsor.

Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that is metastatic or unresectable, and for whom standard life-prolonging measures are not available. Specific tumor types that will be selected for study in Phase 2 are detailed in the protocol.
a. For Phase 2 Cohort 3, participants must have histologically confirmed PTCL (local pathology report) as defined by 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The following subtypes are eligible for the study: adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia, extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma nasal type, enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma, hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, follicular T-cell lymphoma, nodal peripheral T-cell with T-follicular helper (THF) phenotype, and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.
For Phase 2 Cohorts 3 and 4, participants must have evidence of documented progressive disease and must have received at least two prior systemic therapies.
In the Phase 2 portion of the protocol only, participants must have measurable disease according to response criteria appropriate for their type of cancer.
a. For Phase 2 Cohort 3 (PTCL), measurable disease by contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT (at least 1 nodal lesion >1.5 cm or extranodal lesions >1.0 cm) is required.
Acceptable organ function, as evidenced by the following laboratory data:
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC):
Platelet count:
Exclusion Criteria:
History of, or at risk for, cardiac disease, as evidenced by 1 or more of the following conditions:
Prior anticancer treatments or therapies within the indicated time window prior to first dose of study treatment (ASTX660), as follows:
Dose-escalation stage to identify the MTD and the RP2D, defined as either the MTD or a dose below the MTD that the Data and Safety Review Committee (DSRC) agree shows adequate pharmacological evidence of target engagement and/or clinical activity. Subjects will receive ASTX660 once a day for 7 consecutive days every other week of each 28-day cycle (ie, \[7 days on/ 7 days off\] ×2; daily dosing on Days 1-7 and 15-21). The starting dose will be escalated stepwise in successive cohorts of 3 to 6 evaluable subjects each (standard 3+3 study design), until the RP2D is determined.
Drug: ASTX660
Dose-expansion stage to confirm tolerability of ASTX660 at the RP2D using the every-other-week daily dosing regimen. Up to a total of 12 subjects (including the 3 or 6 subjects treated at the RP2D in Part 1) will be treated at the RP2D.
Drug: ASTX660
The purpose of the optional Part 3 is to allow for exploration of an alternative dosing regimen of ASTX660 based on emerging safety, PK, and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from Parts 1 and 2 (using the original every-other-week dosing regimen), with agreement of the DSRC. If Part 3 is conducted, the plan is to enroll up to 18 evaluable subjects in 1 or more cohorts using a standard 3+3 study design.
